Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
Special thanks for everyone who took the extra step to drive out here and help raise money for Make A Wish. I know a lot of you have a good 2 hours or longer drive and you all need to know that is not going overlooked, and everyone at the ballpark thanks you all for helping make this one of the best Star Wars nights. With that said they welcome us back next year and can't wait to see us all again and hope for big turn out. We had everything from Storm Troopers, Snow Trooper, Biker Scout, Imperial Tie Fighter Reserve Pilot, Sand Troopers, even First Order Storm Trooper and to mention the Rebels that came to keep us all in check! Chad Varn, Brad Butler, and Caroline Boyd did a great job making sure we didn't take over the stadium.
The weather was great and the host Jen made sure we had everything to keep us happy. Even had us in a suite just above home plate. I was happy to meet some new faces and get to know some of you better. Always a blast hanging out with JP and Jason Boyd this was are second time trooping together. Chad Varn of the Rebel Legion had me laughing a lot he is one funny guy. It was great to see everyone bring out the family and have a great time relaxing at the ballpark.
Andrew Rochelle got to show off his awesome looking First Order Storm Trooper gear, man that is one awesome job! Shanda Sheperd showed up giving everyone lots of smiles glad to finally meet her can't wait to troop again. Big thanks to Caroline Boyd who was Leia in Endor without her helping me see on the field I would have been a wreck. Need to find out how to install some fans in the Snow Trooper helmet. Glad to see her again and the kids having a great time! Taylor Seay was on the scene as TB-11701 and I wish I had the photo of him sitting on the bikes the ballpark is giving away. He sat on some kid bike and that had us all laughing, always a blast hanging out with this guy. JP Morgan and Brad Butler always hanging out making kids laugh and keeping everyone interested in the 501st always a good time with them two get together.

TD-13167 and TS-16660 always on the hunt for rebel scum in the area.
Everyone put some good time in checking out the area and keeping the kids happy. Many adults got excited and had us all taking pictures for a good part of the day. Chad Varn with the Rebel Legion even threw out T-Shirts and the pizza scream event. But got a little quite when they ask for someone to start the 7th inning stretch.
TI-91886 and TK-11714 along with Brad Butler of Rebel Legion did a great job keeping everyone smiling and having fun. It's always a blast handing with JP and the crew.
If any of you can make it next year you won't regret it. They put us up in a hotel room a few blocks down from the ballpark. Had a blast please let me know if anyone has any questions.
Thank you all again and I will see you next year!!!!
